ProlongGone is a video art piece created as a collaboration between painter and photographer, father and daughter; Gabriel Klasmer and Shira Klasmer. Both artists have interests in the human hand, the human eye and all the systems of mediation that generate perception. The two bring these interest and their separate mediums into one as a video instillation. Painting as material, photography as light, Gabriel and Shira have created sequences of imaginary paintings and frozen photographic images, sweeps of light and form.

The beauty of painting with light is that the process is a performance. Each photograph was an act of Gabriel walking and drawing in total darkness through the space of a car park. 

First commissioned as a 360° screening for Ron Arad’s ‘Curtain Call’ installation at the Roundhouse, London in August 2011. 

The piece was projected onto a 360 degree screen made of 6500 silicon rods suspended from a height of 8 meters. The projection could be seen from inside and outside the circle, and the audience could interact with the screen, and in turn with the video-art piece.

Later the installation toured to the Israeli Museum, and Singapore International Festival of Arts (later renames 'Ron Arad 720°').

The Video shown here is a documentation of the installation at the Roundhouse in London in 2011 and 2016.
